Our best XI

[Jammy89]

I saw that and thought 'blimey, that's really attacking, I like that...until i realised there were no fullbacks.

Be frowned upon if we had an extra 2 players on pitch

I guess we will see this:

Krafth..... Schar..... Burn........ Targett
......................Shelvey..................... ....
Fraser...Willock....Joelinton.... Maxi
........................Wood...................... ....

Either Shelvey or Willock will have to be replaced by Bruno sooner or later.

Either Shelvey or Willock will have to be replaced by Bruno sooner or later.

With the results we've recently had and the way our midfield has been playing it would be really hard to replace any of them for Bruno at the moment. Out of the two though when it does eventually happen I think I'd replace Willock. When Shelvey is in the form he has been I just think he offers us something completely different. When he starts tiring then I'd replace him with Willock.

............Schar...Lassie.....Burn...............
Joelinton........Shelvey...............Targett
..........Willock...Bruno....Maxi................
.........................Wood..................... .......

More creative power, without risking too much...

West Ham usually deploy a 4-5-1 formation (or rather a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1). To counter that, I’ll take any solution where Krafth is not being played.

He was decent against Villa, when he came on...

[toonviking]

For the next game I would be tempted to try something without Wood:

Krafth.... Schar..... Burn..... Targett
.... Shelvey.... Bruno... Joelinton....
..................... Willock......................
............Fraser.............Maxi............

If we can get a lot of movement on the front 3, Shelvey and Bruno can thread them through. Willock can transport the ball.

One of them will at some point get injured, that will be his chance.
